StopIteration during keyboard.write

On Fedora 28 with Python 3.6.6 I get the following problem:

>>> text = "TESTAA"
>>> keyboard.write(text)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/some/path/venv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/keyboard/__init__.py", line 852, in write
    scan_code, modifiers = next(iter(entries))
StopIteration
>>> TEST

Hi! I have exactly the same problem on Ubuntu 18.04, however I can use keyboard from pynput module for the same purposes, here is an example: from pynput.keyboard import Controller keyboard=Controller() keyboard.type('TESTAA') For doing so you need to download the pynput module, which can be downloaded from the terminal via pip with: pip install pynput There is also a complete tutorial about simulating keypresses with pynput: https://nitratine.net/simulate-keypresses-in-python/

Same issue on Centos 7 machine… script is simple

import keyboard keyboard.write(“Python Programming is kinda cool I should say!”, delay=0.3) keyboard.send(‘windows+l’)

Steps to repro:

$ sudo python3 test_keyboard.py Traceback (most recent call last): File “test_keyboard.py”, line 3, in <module> keyboard.write(“Python Programming is kinda cool I should say!”, delay=0.3) File “/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/keyboard/init.py”, line 854, in write scan_code, modifiers = next(iter(entries)) StopIteration

I’ve done research in SO but nothing… this appears the only place and the issue is Open.

If someone knows an alternative to the “keyboard” module that would be fantastic!

I am aware that something like this could be used(windows example):

import os os.system(‘rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation’)

However something more high level that can work on most machines would be best.
